Yesterday, children in Year 1, 2 and 3 enjoyed an exciting trip to Warwick Castle. They climbed 530 steps up the spriral staircase to get to the top of the tower where the views were amazing and they could see the old mound where the motte would have been and a ditch where the moat would have been.
The children were also able to watch a bowman and bird of prey demonstration and learned how the castle was designed to make it difficult to attack.
The school was full of characters from the Roald Dahl books! From foxes to James and the Giant Peach the children (and staff) got to experience learning activities from The BFG, Matilda, George's Marvellous Medicine and James and the Giant Peach as well as hearing extracts of the stories. We hope that they will all want their parents and grandparents to read the full versions to them in the future!
